More quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I could not become anything neither good nor bad neither a scoundrel nor an honest man neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
In order to love simply, it is necessary to know how to show love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Life is paradise, and we are all in paradise, but we refuse to see it.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
From a hundred rabbits you can't make a horse.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
What makes a hero? Courage, strength, morality, withstanding adversity? Are these the traits that truly show and create a hero? Is the light truly the source of darkness or vice versa? Is the soul a source of hope or despair? Who are these so called heroes and where do they come from? Are their origins in obscurity or in plain sight?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Do you understand, sir, do you understand what it means when you have absolutely nowhere to turn? Marmeladov's question came suddenly into his mind for every man must have somewhere to turn.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I am a ridiculous man. They call me a madman now. That would be a distinct rise in my social position were it not that they still regard me as being as ridiculous as ever.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Of course my jokes are in poor taste, inappropriate, and confused they reveal my lack of security. But that is because I have no respect for myself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I punish myself for my whole life, my whole life I punish.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Man is a pliable animal, a being who gets accustomed to everything!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Speak of a wolf and you see his tail!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Beauty will save the world
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
And what's strange, what would be marvelous, is not that God should really exist the marvel is that such an idea, the idea of the necessity of God, could enter the head of such a savage, vicious beast as man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
I wanted to discuss the suffering of humanity in general, but perhaps we'd better confine ourselves to the sufferings of children.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
